Architecture on Holiday: The Buildings of the English Seaside – COURSE FULL
Description
In the heyday of the seaside holiday, England’s coastal towns were transformed to accommodate the millions of visitors and keep them entertained. Hotels, boarding houses, piers, lidos, beach huts, carousels, amusement parks, dance halls – all had their distinctive art and design.
This course describes them all, as well as covering the traditional architecture of coastal towns and fishing villages. From garish to functional, brash to traditional, seaside architecture is fascinating – and. All comers welcome.
